	3:11am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @3:11 Nice to be heard, Cooh. Hope you're well.
	⚡ 3:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:11 would have been lost on me, never seen it
	3:13am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:12 It requires sophomoric humor, which I have in abundance.
	⚡ 3:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Ocean" by "Pascal Comelade, Ramon Prats, Lee Rana... the title at least, reminds me of a piece of music played by bryce i think, by walter de maria of ocean sounds for about half an hour then drumming kicks in, i remember it being pretty great
	⚡ 3:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:13 guess that's better than fresh-manic humor...
	3:17am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:15 Bryce plays some amazing stuff.
	⚡ 3:18am tom tom the pipers son: here is the church, here is the steeple, where are the people?
	⚡ 3:27am Michael of Cologne: Good morning Brian, Tom Tom & everyone. Rain here is over for now.
	3:28am Brian D: Hallo, Michael!
	⚡ 3:29am tom tom the pipers son: hi michael, nyc metro area got hit with a storm that had the moist lightning i've seen in a long while
	⚡ 3:32am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian, tom, John, Michael and anyone else! Last week I was surviving the aftermath of the Epikset festival (a mess, but a fun mess), this week chilling in the cabin with friend, wondering if I should make pancakes with the wild blueberries we picked.
	3:33am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:32 Hello Don. Fresh blueberries... pancakes... cabin... sounds perfect.
	⚡ 3:33am Don in Tampere: Michael, we never managed to get a gig in Köln, but this coming Friday we're at Dmitte in Düsseldorf
	⚡ 3:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:32 hi don, what a luxury, wild blueberries, just threw out a carton from supermarket... tasteless
	3:35am devlwan: Always good to hear Pussy Riot.
	⚡ 3:39am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:29 Violent weather patterns are becoming the new normal everywhere. We've had rain-bombing episodes, very changeable weather, this summer.
	⚡ 3:41am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:33 You sure get around with your band, Don! This Friday I'm in Bonn for an exhibition opening showing works by Mutsumi Okada and another artist.
	⚡ 3:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: HNN-torture whistleblower Ian Fishback laid... sad story, seems cause of death still undetermined
	3:46am mistercaz: We had some rain as well. (Northeast PA) Great to hear #PussyRiot & with God Save the Queen too !
	3:46am Merlin: De cab is right, if he means the county which is part of metro Atlanta. I think I heard him complaining about Columbia drive so I am pretty sure he meant that GA county.
	3:48am Brian D: ↳ Merlin @3:46 He does, Merlin. Thank you. References ATL, too.
	3:49am mistercaz: 'Ocean' was great on the Live 1969 LP. Whole 3rd side was great, really.
	3:52am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:34 I bought wild berries from the farmer's market today, purely becase it reminded me of childhood. mulberries? Then the farmer's market dudes gave me free um.... the berries that look like tomatillos? and then the deli guy gave me some free icecream! I gotta go food shopping in a sports bra more often?
	3:53am mespr: I signed in to further the sentiment of supporting Pussy Riot. Autocracy can fail.
	⚡ 3:54am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Fox @3:52 You reckon that's a fair exchange, Fox?
	⚡ 3:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @3:52 hi fox...ha! saw your instagram post, and GOOD ice cream
	3:57am Brian D: ↳ Fox @3:52 Fox!
	3:58am Brian D: ↳ mespr @3:53 Always good to have you, Mespr.
	⚡ 3:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:54 growing up had a large berry bush, but they didn't taste very good just turned feet purple
	3:59am Fox: It's too hot. I'm gonna be wearing as little as humanly possible (without risking arrest or revealing my self conscious bits) anyway.... so why not?!
	⚡ 4:05am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:59 Grew up among briars of blackberries. Delish!
	4:07am fred: ↳ Fox @3:59 "Logic" that puzzles me: 1. Girls should cover up in school because boys would be distracted due to hormones 2. Women should cover up or they'll get raped because men can't help it because hormones 3. Women can't hold office because of hormones I guess it's just me not understanding
	4:08am Fox: I've discovered that you can keep oatmilk icecream in the fridge for HOURS and it ends up the perfect consistency of whipped mousse. Fuck yeah! I think I forgot to add the cookies in my instagram post?
	4:09am Roberto: ↳ Fox @4:08 N(ICE)!
	4:10am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:07 Serious points there, Fred. And I can only think of the stupid hormone joke. Hello, by the way.
	4:12am fred: Sorry about that, it came in a dream, couldn't resist sharing it. I'll keep out
	⚡ 4:13am tom tom the pipers son: @ fox: listened to your fill in, and wanted to recommend a book to you which relates tangentially to issues of public space. it's from 2002, titled design and crime by hal foster and reuses the idea of "running room" first coined by karl kraus and adolf loos early in 20th c. in relation to art nouveau and its over design as causing a lack of" running room", the psychic space between subject and object ... art nouveau being analogous to the encroachment of technology today
	4:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:12 No, no. No need. Valid.
	4:15am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:13 email it to me, please!
	⚡ 4:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:15 i believe the whole book is available online, i think you just have to search for title, design and crime. came out before a.i., but was very prescient of it and things like those immersive video environments, van gogh, klimt, i'll email the title to you so you'll remember
	4:25am Brian D: Tom Besley's doc "Control," for those interested: www.nytimes.com...
	⚡ 4:25am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:05 Or should that be brambles of blackberries? Seems that both are permissible. In the Blue Moiuntains near Sydney, where I grew up, blackberries were classified as a noxious weed. The silly Brits brought them over and they wreak ecological havoc in the Australian bush.
	4:26am Wuthry Guffy: Angry now and thats not my thing. Great show sometimes I’m blocked out of all appreciative attention.
	⚡ 4:29am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: you might be interested in design an crime too, i have it bookmarked, i can email it to you
	4:30am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:29 Cool. Do please. Cheers!
	4:37am Danny San: Eco -Anxiety is the condition i certainly have and have had since the murders of people who have given their lives to protect what cannot be sold for mere currency, thanks for noting that subject Brian D.
	⚡ 4:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Anxiety" by "Tim Hecker" Mesmerizing!
	4:43am devlawn: shouldnt at some point they get called the old pornographers
	4:46am Fox: ↳ Wuthry Guffy @4:26 I've been really angry ever since I realized that the recommendation of not eating fish or seafood more than twice a week was something that happened in MY LIFETIME, and it's human caused, and we've not even tried to fix it, just let it continue to multiply. I'm so angry that people and other animals who have relied on the ocean and freshwater lakes for thousands of years get poisoned from it. Like that wasn't going to come back and make all of us sick?!?!
	4:47am Fox: Wait, what? What was going on behind me?!?!
	⚡ 4:47am tom tom the pipers son: full monty in monty hall?
	4:50am Fox: Oh, and this is the story I was ramblingly telling. Kinda. rachaelnoelfox.com...
	4:51am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:47 I'll tell you Tuesday...
	4:51am Fox: The scandal make Newsweek. www.newsweek.com...
	4:51am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:47 Not quite, but it was getting there.
	4:57am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:51 Oh right! THAT guy!
	5:04am pgalub: Good morning Brian D, Fox and everyone.
	5:06am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @5:04 Hey Pete!
	5:12am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:51 You know, Fox, in your telling of that story the other night, I got no sense of the trauma you must have experienced.
	5:14am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:12 The trauma was literally 20 years ago, and the greatet scar of that event had to do with being ignored and not listened to. So when it all hit during the shut down, it was SWEET SWEET VINDICATION. It broke the curse to some degree.
	5:16am Fox: The publicity of it all. The opportunity to actually have my say, and to know that so many people were edged out of the cool kids club over the years, so my claims were suddenly very valid and reasonable. It utterly fucked up the trajectory of my life. Professional and personal.
	5:17am Fox: But having it all publicly aired out was faaaaabulous!!! Fuck those people.
	5:17am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:14 I guess that makes sense. I remember the scandal, but only paid significant attention to it because he shares the same name as the dude in the Bad Seeds.
	5:19am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:17 Unfortunate, that.
	5:20am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:19 Yes... man, now I wish I had called your attention to what was going on over your shoulder!
	⚡ 5:20am tom tom the pipers son: @ fox: will read those links later... but reminds me of an old girlfriend whose sister worked for dc and had a weird relationship with neil gaiman
	⚡ 5:20am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Fox @4:46 The invisible, sweet poison of thingified value in its perpetual motion of endless accumulation pervading every last crevice of Earth. The medium that sets us free from each other, enslaves us at the same time to the global medium's accumulative movement. Insidious entanglement of individualized freedom and enslavement in self-destruction. The groaning Earth has started screaming. Thought for the day.
	5:20am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:20 Oh man, say it isn't so...
	⚡ 5:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:20 have only a vague recollection
	⚡ 5:24am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Apparitions (Solo Piano, Live at Creative Music S... Now, this is interesting!
	5:25am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:24 'Tis.
	5:26am LiXiviated Life: once again awake before the sun
	5:26am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:20 I've heard... rumors about Gaiman. But only that he was a bit of a charmer, a bit of a cad. shrug Warren Ellis however is an empty narcissist who uses mind control tactics and hypnosis and preys on sex workers and has dozens of women NEEEEEEDING him at all times, playing the long game with them for yeaaaars. It's amazingly creepy.
	5:26am Brian D: Good morning, Lix.
	⚡ 5:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @5:26 iirc, i think gaiman was married at the time and carrying on with my girlfriend sister
	5:32am Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Brian and all! I haven't been able to sleep since 3. I'm about to prep some vegetables for cooking. These vibes are just what the doctor ordered. Danke!
	5:32am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:28 I think, given what I've heard, that was common with his first wife? I don't really judge people who have interactions outside their marriage if I don't know their relationship, y'know?
	5:32am fred: So many predators, nothing new. But why so many prey? That's where society fails
	5:33am Danny San: Some day the earth will weep, she will beg for her life , she will cry with tears of blood. You will make a choice , if you will help her or let her die , and when she dies , you too will die . John Hollow Horn , Oglala Lakota, 1932
	⚡ 5:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @5:32 right...
	5:33am Brian D: ↳ Mr. Pumpy @5:32 Hello, Pumpy. Sorry for the insomnia.
	5:34am Mr. Pumpy: ↳ Brian D @5:33 Thanks. It's all good. I usually sleep fine. I have a lot going on today and I was probably just amped up for the day.
	5:35am Fox: I lost my cookies and I am sad. How will I fall asleep now?!
	⚡ 5:36am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Fear Not (feat. The Messthetics)" by "James Brand... Sax seg!
	⚡ 5:38am tom tom the pipers son: good assessment of clusterfuck niger situation on democracy now this week . france's involvement in region was described as being especially nefarious supporting terrorism in the area as well as counter terrorism
	5:39am Fox: OK. I must passsssssss out now. G'night! g'morning!
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:38 Yes, I heard that. I actually wanted to use a clip from it but editing it down to a usable length was a challenge.
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:39 Sleep well, Fox.
	⚡ 5:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @5:35 lost or tossed your cookies? g'nite fox
	5:40am Danny San: War is ,,, where ever a chief export is uranium ,,,

	5:42am Mr. Pumpy: James Brandon Lewis Trio - sick jam!
	⚡ 5:43am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Danny San @5:40 ...for the sake of sustaining our species? -- if that is what we are??
	5:44am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:42 Yes, and France's involvement -- and Russia's -- could get ugly. Even uglier.
	5:45am Brian D: ↳ Mr. Pumpy @5:42 Featuring the Messthetics, too. So good.
	⚡ 5:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:44 wagner's in africa
	5:49am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:45 Yes. And Russia sends millions in aid. Pro-coup protesters holding Russian flags as they ransacked the French embassy.
	5:49am fred: France is only about power, but now it's energy (oil and gas). Nothing else, ever. They (we) gave up on political power a long time ago
	5:50am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:49 Niger = uranium. France gets 70% of its power from nuclear.
	5:53am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:50 Except a lot of power plants are so old they sit idle
